Every year, about 5.4 million snakebites occur worldwide. These cause up to 2.7 million enve nomings, almost 138,000
deaths, and 400,000 cases of sequelae or disability [1,2]. This serious public health problem is a neglected, occupational
disease in subtropical and tropical countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America [1]. Every year, two million snakebites
occur in Asia, with India presenting more than 46,000 deaths each year [1,3]. In Africa, snakebites are estimated to cause
435,000 to 580,000 accidents annually, with a range of 7000 to 32,000 deaths in sub-Saharan Africa, of which 3500 to
5400 deaths occur in West Africa [1,4–7]. In Latin America, there are 137,000 to 150,000 snakebite reports and 3400 to
5000 deaths per year [8]. In developed countries in North America and Europe these numbers are much lower. In North
America, 3800 to 6500 annual cases with up to 15 deaths are reported, while Europe experiences around 7500 cases and
up to five deaths per year
